Mobile-first ticketing for festivals. The ticket lives in the app, not a screenshot — anti-resale by design, with zero fees for fans.
Neon Nights Festival
Tickz is a new, mobile-first event ticketing platform built for South African festivals, concerts, club nights, sports fixtures and markets. We started Tickz because ticket buyers were tired of booking fees stacked on top of the advertised price, and event organizers were tired of handing over a slice of every sale — fees or no fees, profit or no profit.
Our answer is simple. For fans, the ticket lives inside the Tickz app, where the scannable code is generated on the spot — so it can't be screenshotted, forwarded or resold by a tout. Want to give your spare ticket to a friend? Transfer it securely in a couple of taps. And the price you see is the price you pay: no booking fees, no service fees, no "convenience" charges.
For organizers, Tickz is hands-off. You set your own prices, manage your artists, vendors, crew and check-in, and watch sales and payout readiness update in real time. We only earn a small share of your net profit — never a cut of gross, never a listing fee, never a per-ticket surcharge. When your event does well, so do we; when it doesn't, we're not reaching into your pocket anyway.
The old way leaks money to fees, lets touts thrive, and leaves organizers in the dark. Tickz fixes the model — not just the website.
The old wayOld platforms email a PDF or a static QR — easy to screenshot, forward, and sell on at a markup.
With TickzYour ticket lives in the Tickz app and the scannable code only renders there. No screenshots, no touts, no fakes at the gate.
The old wayThe advertised price is never the price — booking, service and 'convenience' charges pile on at checkout.
With TickzWhat you see is what you pay. Tickz never adds a single fee to a ticket buyer. Ever.
The old wayLegacy ticketing takes a cut of gross sales and bolts on service fees, whether your event makes money or not.
